1.6 My Little Confession

"Shakira! Great to see that you could manage to come out tonight since you were too busy to come in to work today and do less important things like save peoples lives."

"Perry, lay off Bambi..." Carla said with the best intentions.

"Carla! I do not need you to defend me all the time! God, you can be so annoying sometimes!"

Everyone looked at JD, then at Carla who was obviously hurt, and back to JD again who got up and went and sat at a table by himself.

Elliot motioned to Dr. Cox to go over and talk to him, Dr. Cox motioned to Turk, Turk to Elliot and then Elliot back to Dr. Cox.

"For goodness sake cowards!" Jordan stood up. "I will go talk to DJ..."

"Can I sit down DJ?"

He didn't say anything.

"Can I sit down JD?"

He nodded.

You really give in too easily...

"So... how's that dog of yours?"

"Rowdy? Fine..."

"Did he, you know, kick the habit yet?"

"Almost... He still uses my bed as his bitch but you would too with those sheets. It's like they were made from a cloud in heaven..."

JD smiled thinking about sleeping on a cloud.

"Right..."

"So, how is little JD?"

"She's great. It was a great idea to name her Jennifer Dillon. She threw up all over Perry this morning, just like you did the other day... Priceless!"

JD laughed nervously.

"You know DJ... JD... since I have had my children I started having these things, I don't know what they are, sometimes I smile, and sometimes I cry..."

"Emotions, feelings?" JD asked...

"Yeah! Those... and I have to say I have a feeling that there is something wrong with you and I also have a feeling that those friends of yours over there are getting rather annoyed that you won't tell them what it is."

"Well that's too bad because I am not going to tell them."

"So there is something..."

Damn it!

"What starts with 'P' and ends with orn?"

"Popcorn, Carla told me that one..."

JD looked at Carla, "Traitor!"

"What starts with 'T' and ends with me?"

"It's time, the word is time, it's time!" JD said excitedly.

"Yes JD, it is time, time to, and here's the correct answer, tell me."

"What starts with no and ends with thank you?" JD slammed his hand on the table and winced in pain.

"Careful there kid, you made the table angry."

JD imagined himself and the table in a boxing ring, hashing it out.

That was strange... What did eat today?

"Hello? Are you with me?"

"What?" JD asked snapping back to reality to see Elliot pulling up a chair next to Jordan.

"JD, I think you should apologize to Carla..." Elliot said in her usual overly chipper voice.

"I didn't mean to yell at her, I am just so tired of people asking me if I am okay and treating me like a little kid. I just want people to stop worrying."

And that's the truth, that's all I want. If they stop worrying I don't have to tell them what is bothering me and we can all live happily ever after.

"Carla... JD has something to say to you..."

"Elliot!"

"Just tell her what you told us..."

"Carla... I am sorry I snapped at you. I just want people to stop worrying so much and start treating me the way you used to."

"Bambi..." Carla pulled up a seat next to him, "I forgive you but I am not going to stop worrying about you. I am your friend and I care about you and I can see that something is wrong and I want to help, we all do, but you need to talk to us. I also want you to actually go and get an x-ray."

Turk walked over to the table, "Got you another drink Vanilla Bear." Turk handed JD an appletini.

Jordan motioned for Dr. Cox to come over and after several eye rolls and gestures he finally did.

"Now Bambi, pick which one of us you want to do it, or none of us, but you need to get that x-ray done..."

"I don't care who does it..." JD said, knowing he was out numbered.

Everyone sat in silence sipping their drinks, it was a ucomfortable silence...

You can't keep everything bottled up... JD imagined himself in a bottle that someone is shaking which then explodes. Just tell them a little of the truth...

"I punched a wall..."

"Well what the hell did you do that for Newbie? Did it make a snide remark about your latest blog entry?"

Jordan elbowed Perry.

"I think it's broken..."

Turk stood up, "Come on buddy... let's go get that x-ray..."
